Over 600 Register for Green Star Challenge in Two Weeks in Boost to BWSSB Water Saving Campaign in Bengaluru

Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) had called upon people in Bengaluru to participate in water saving campaigns by adopting the pancha sutras (5 principles) of  Green Star Challenge

In two weeks’ time, as many as 416 apartments, 68 government organisations, 52 commercial establishments, two IT Parks, 13 IT companies, 32 hotels, 16 hospitals, and 11 educational institutions have registered for the Green Star rating through the website.

The Green Star rating is an ambitious plan of the BWSSB to adopt pancha sutras to save water and encourage good use. By getting the Green Star rating, institutions and buildings will not only reduce water consumption, but will also play an important role in building water sufficiency.

The pancha sutras

BWSSB has listed five principles of water conservation to be adopted by all consumers:

  1. Adopting technologies that conserve water
  2. Increase the use of treated water
  3. Adopt technology to manage borewells
  4. Harvest rainwater and dig recharge pits
  5. Create awareness about all these among patrons who visit these establishments

BWSSB will organise more such programmes to gradually make all its consumers a part of this campaign.
